1885 Golden Gate Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115

1885 Golden Gate Avenue is a 12-unit, three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1916 and owned by Henry & Frances Gage Lp. The property has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 (with a cost of $150,000) to improve seismic resilience, and installing a new fire alarm system in 2019 valued at $15,100.

Recent fire safety inspections in 2023 identified and required corrections to fire escape and alarm system issues, which have been resolved. The building's history shows attention to maintenance and safety compliance, though there have been several incidents requiring intervention. A series of 311 calls in late 2024 indicate ongoing issues with driveway access, while previous problems documented in 2012 included water leaks, window issues, and mold concerns.

Earlier violations from 2006-2007 involved unauthorized bathroom renovations in Unit #4, which were subsequently corrected. The building has experienced multiple fire safety-related incidents, primarily false alarms or system malfunctions, though these do not appear to have resulted in injury or significant damage. Recent regular safety inspections (most recently in 2017) have not highlighted any major ongoing concerns, suggesting improved maintenance and compliance with safety requirements in recent years.
